Heavy Metal Cover Girls - In Wimples

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Heavy Metal Cover Girls; a series where I post Rock/Metal album covers linked by a theme and then attempt to say something interesting about each one. 

 Or at least something better than "BOOBS!" anyway.

Nuns are on more metal album covers than you would think.  At first sight the combination of  a music form known for being anti-religious and women known for devoting themselves to Christ is an odd one.

 Then again, as we shall see, these nuns have taken a walk on the wild side. 

Lorihen - Bajo La Cruz (Argentina 2007)

Let's be charitable and pretend she's looking up at the altar with religious devotion.

Moving on. 

Bongtower - Altered States (Russia 2019)

I think this is a metaphor for the constant struggle to remain on the right path in the face of temptation and peer pressure. 

 Or a Stoner band wanted to see nuns getting baked. 

 

Waddya know, nuns and booze are on the next one too. 

Junkyard Drive - Sin And Tonic (Denmark 2017)

 You can just tell what this band sound like from the cover alone.  Which means it's done its job, I guess.

 

  I'm beginning to suspect some of these women aren't really nuns at all...

Knighthood - Bad Habits (UK 2014)

Oops sorry, wrong church. We were looking for St. Judes. They're having a bake sale today.

You aren't having bake sale, by any chance?

No?

OK then, we'll just be leaving. Sorry for interrupting.

At this point we're beyond "nuns behaving badly" and reached "nuns going into Ken Russell territory."

Darkest Sins - S/T (Norway 2012)

Whatever is going on here, it's heavily implied that the nun is enjoying herself.
Each to their own 

Burdel King  -  Si Dios Esta en Todas Partes... Fuego a Discreción!   (Spain 2016)

Well this isn't St. Judes either.

We're looking for the bake sale...

No we aren't naughty and need spanking.

We just wanted a nice sponge cake.

No that isn't a code for anything!

BYEEE!

Besatt - Impia Symphonia EP (Poland 2015)

BOOBS!

And that's all folks

The Metal Project: Welcome To 2021

 

 Hello and welcome to the first Metal Project post of 2021.  Today I will be digging into my vault and pulling out some stuff I've been meaning to post for a while. As always, I hope you find something to like. 

  It says a lot that I'm not always sure whether a band are taking the piss or not.  However this Brazilian bunch are known for their satirical work. That doesn't mean the song is bad though. Far from it.

Battleheart - Heavy Metal Pirates (UK 2006)

If this sounds familiar that would be because Battleheart would evolve into Alestorm a year later.

Arma - Metal Punk Attack (Brazil 2015)

Voor - Evil Metal (Canada 1985)

This last song I'm a bit dubious about posting just in case they turn out 

to be NSBM instead of nihilists just going for shock effect.

Black Metal Crew Sataninchen Sing About Cats And Stuff

I wish I knew why Metal attracts so many strange and ...unique... bands.  The scary part is, you are never quite sure whether they're a parody, genuinely nuts or skipping back and forth over the DMZ dividing the two.  Take Manowar.  After 30 years people still aren't sure if they're tongue in cheek or not.

Luckily there are some clues that German Black Metal band Sataninchen are playing for laughs.

There's the cover of their latest album for starters. 

  After I stumbled across the memorable artwork above I knew I had to go check out some of their music and that's where I found this 2016 promo video.  It's in German, a language I can barely order a beer in, so the subtleties of the lyrics are sadly lost on me.  There's a bit about cats and I'm sure there's something about dicks in there too. 

  Why? Buggered if I know. 

   Either way the end result is rather catchy. See for yourself.

 if you want to hear more, pop over to their bandcamp. : https://sataninchen.bandcamp.com

That's All Folks.
